Jellybeans Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 That interesting, afab! I guess that gives her twice the chance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) I suppose, i hadn't thought of it that way! I thought they would decide if they wanted her and then decide in which level she would go! But I prefer your way of thinking ;-) Edited March 9, 2012 by afab 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miracle Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 None whatsoever. Â This worries me afab. Did they actually say they have no mds for this Sept. I hope this isn't the case as both of my children have been invited back to a funding audition on the 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 No Miracle, I didn't mean they don't have any. I meant they didn't give any figure whatsoever... They actually didn't even mention them... Sorry for the confusion! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyG Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Tring used to have about 5/7 new MDS awards each year. Â There used to be a report each year on the old MDS website which gave you how many MDS holders there were at each school. Just looked at the current website and can't see the reports on there. Used to make interesting reading. Â Tring also seemed to get a couple more MDS for those who had held one at a previous school so they could continue their training. I think RBS had about 24, Elmhurst 20, Hammond 5. These figures could be out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi'smom Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hi We were told at Hammond that they had 14 MDS places this year (which was more than we thought) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie4dancin Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yeah I agree Angela they said 14 MDS awards this year at Hammond And I'm sure I read on the forum that Tring only has 5 this year I hope that's not the case... Cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lildancer96 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 It would be useful if funding places and allocation were published . These figures quoted are really interesting. Does anyone have a clue about the spread of funded places for 6th forms? Lil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I don't think they know about MDS places definitively themselves until the last moment. If a dancer from a school on an MDS auditions for a different school for whatever reason and is successful then their MDS would become available again at the last minute.The results of these other auditions are only just coming out. When my dd auditioned years ago we received a letter before the final informing us of how many children were being invited to the final at Tring and how many places were available. It was a lovely letter expressing congrats to all that had gotten so far and regret that there were not enough places for all the talented children who reached the final. Perhaps a letter like that might be sent this year. The good thing is at Tring they don't keep you hanging around waiting. My friends' sons who were both successful were phoned on the evening of the audition and told they had been awarded funding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyG Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 When we auditioned a couple of years ago we had only just got in from auditions when we got a phone call offering a funded place. Axward as we were still waiting to hear from Elmhurst results which meant we had to say yes even though our preference was Elmhurst. I wasn't going to answer the phone but hubby got their first.

JulieW Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I know I've just commented on your FB wall - but wanted to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS on here too. I love the way they tell you on the day (although that does leave me wondering about all the others who don't hear - how long is it until they're let down gently?) Â I was going to say the other day that I thought you needed a wing or a studio named after your family 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Lots of luck to everyone waiting and thanks for the good wishes and the support. i feel like a weight has been lifted now they are all together in the one school. It was a seriously nerve-wracking few months.  My older dd got her place from the waiting list and it was about 10 days till we got that letter. Never forget it...the mids offer came on the same day and I thought she would be pleased but she sobbed for 2 days. Lucky the place did come up and she hasn't looked back...and now the adventure begins for the littlest one  Julie, I don't knw about a wing...but I think I should seriously get a job there!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Ballerina Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hello everyone. Â Sounds like there is fantastic news for balletcoforum goers this year! Well done to everyone, and everything crossed for this still waiting. Â Rather curious about the process for Tring. Alongside Lil, I am attending the sixth form DADA auditions tomorrow. Do you find out on the day via phone call? I live 5 hours away from the school, and anxious about missing the phone call if it is on the same day!

dancedizzy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yes in previous years they have contacted successful DaDA applicants the same day. They ring mobiles whilst youre en route home. Hope all goes well tomorrow. I have had 2 daughters on dance courses at Tring,youngest junior dance course on a MDS and eldest senior dance course on a DaDA so know what it's like! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
